Amosun’s Thugs Kick As Buhari Endorses Dapo Abiodun As Ogun Governor

Monday, February 11, 2019.

The governorship candidate of the
All Progressives Party (APC), Prince Dapo Abiodun was, moments ago,
endorsed by President Muhammadu Buhari at the just concluded
Presidential Rally in Abeokuta.

The National Chairman of APC,
Comrade Adams Oshiomole, also presented the symbolic party flag to
Abiodun at the well attended rally, which was also witnessed by Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo, some former and serving state governors and
party executives.

In his speech, President Buhari thanked the
people of Ogun State for the support given to him in 2015. He reeled out
his achievements in the areas of combating insurgency, fighting against
corruption, and so on; just he promised to do more.

Against the
violence that preceded his arrival at the venue, during which several
members of the APC were injured and chased out of the stadium by thugs
allegedly sponsored by the State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun,
President Buhari warned that the choice of who to vote for “is a
fundamental human right of the people and that there should be no
problems about that at all”. He posited that people should be allowed to
freely express their choice by voting their preferred candidate.

Ogun APC Apologises
The
Ogun State Caretaker Committee led by Chief Yemi Sanusi tenders
unreserved apology to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu
Buhari over the gross misconduct, indiscipline, disrespect and disorder
perpetrated by agents of Governor Amosun today at the MKO Abiola
Stadium.

Governor Amosun, using thugs and other urchins wrecked
havoc on members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress for
wearing yellow vests and caps of Dapo Abiodun.
The thugs at some
points, were personally led by Governor Amosun, who was seen on a video
that has since gone viral, removing A-Boards and other campaign
materials of Dapo Abiodun from the venue. Also members of the Caretaker
Committee were debarred from mounting the stage by Amosun’s thugs with
obvious compromise of some security agents attached to the Governor.

The
unruly acts, not only embarrassed the President and his entourage, but
have actually embarrassed the whole people of Ogun State at home and
abroad, who have since been expressing their disbelief and disdain.

While
tendering this apology, we are happy that the Department of State
Security Service and other agencies have details of the sad events,
which we urge them to submit to the Presidency.
